* The KORWALD report gives the serial no. as " 98865 or 9686" (sic). USN serial no. 98865 was in a block of numbers allocated to batch of Martin PBM-5 Mariners ( order cancelled ) but 96865 appears to have been allocated to a Corsair, so it is most likely to be the latter.

** The KORWALD report states that the pilot was was picked up safely by an RAAF Sunderland flying boat. I can find no evidence that the Royal Australian Air Force was still operating Sunderlands in 1951, so it was most probably a Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft.
